Current mission: Way of St. James from Le Puy to Santiago de Compostela and then Fisterra to raise the Ukrainian flag there. It's 1500+ km walking by foot.

I’m passionate about discovering the world, meeting new cultures, and bringing joy into this world.
I've been an entrepreneur, project, and event manager. Co-founded cultural non-profit projects. Now on, let's call it, sabbatical.
Most of my life lived in Kyiv, and a few years on the sea coast in Odesa. In the past year lived a few months in Zanzibar and Albania and now almost half of the year in Spain, Barcelona.
Prefer nature to a city. Keen on hiking, especially mountains. Love riding a motorcycle at high speed. Been at many raves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To truly see the world you need to look at it through different eyes, and Couchsurfing provides those eyes in the most fun way!

Music, Movies, and Books

Melomaniac, really, my playlist of likes is full of genres. I’m also a beginner DJ and have already had a few gigs. I love to play House but more quick music (130-150 bpm) is also on my USB.
Cinema is my great joy, I watched a lot of movies. My favorite picture is The Big Lebowski (I have a tattoo of Lebowski), fav director - Tarantino. Keen on LOTR and StarWars. The latest good movie I've seen - Mickey 17.
TV series as well consumed a lot of my lifetime :) Favorite ones: Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Lost, Severance, Firefly, Seinfield, True Detective, Black Mirror, The Boys.
I read a ton of sci-fi and fantasy in my teenage years, then my world shifted to non-fiction, psychology, philosophy, and work-related stuff (not cool). 10 years before I would say my favorite one was Atlass Shrugged, but now I think my favorite one is undiscovered yet, but I should definitely mention The Financier by Dreiser. Sometimes I find the energy to read classics, that to-do list is so big.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo parachute jump from 850m.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic DJ skills, or just share some good music. Also, I could give you some advice related to hiking/camping or motorcycle riding. I have a nice amount of experience related to project management (mostly IT and Events) but I hope we can find more interesting topics :)
I would love to learn about your local culture, travel experiences, and cooking secrets.
Anything related to music is also highly appreciated.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, knowledge and experience, fun.
We can have a good talk related to any of the topics listed in my interests but not limited to.
I'm also a good listener.
Also, I can share a common sense regarding war in my country and why #russiaisaterroriststate.
